What does the X log say?

sax log shows sh-3.00$ grep -i error SaX.log (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown but nothing that jumps out as strange

it uses X itself, so, no wonder...

How did you do this?

yast online update

...

sax log shows

sh-3.00$ grep -i error SaX.log (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown but nothing that jumps out as strange

from that I'd say that an

$ grep "(EE)" SaX.log

or

$ grep "(WW)" SaX.log

would be _much_ more informative...

after rebooting a second time after fixing the fs the issue solved by itself. but i will keep my eye open b/c i see lots of activity in google concerning suse/black screen... i am still concern but i will wait and see if it occurs again
